Notes and More Notes
“Notes and More Notes” | Anthony Satori
“Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.”
— Frederic Chopin
Like Wine Through Water
“Like Wine Through Water” | Anthony Satori
“I have dreamed in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.”
— Emily Bronte
The Universal Elements
“Horses in a Field” | Anthony Satori
“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring — these are some of the rewards of the simple life.”
— John Burroughs
A Different Breath
“The Tortoise and the Hare, Revisited” | Anthony Satori
“Truly to sing, that is a different breath.”
— Rilke
The breath used in singing does indeed seem to be a different breath, by its very nature. It shares its essence, it seems to me, with yoga breathing (pranayama), embodying the same kind of mind-body connection that this spiritual practice aspires to attain. It is the breath of life, of love, and of connection. It is a breath that holds a deeper creative resonance, as referred to in the ancient scriptures and mystic texts. It is a breath that comes not just from the body, but from the heart, from the soul, and from the spirit.
